Letter to the editor: We can find common ground

The rubes in the center loved their country a lot.

The urbs on the coastline really did not.

The urbs passed laws that the rubes would cry over.

It didn’t matter. They were just fly over.

The rubes went to work in collars of blue.

White collars are preferred by the urbs. It’s true.

The rubes very often had not gone to college.

They were content with a new kind of knowledge.

The rubes removed glasses the color of rose.

The urbs then agreed to stop holding their nose.

With senses restored, both the nose and the eyes,

They found common ground, which was quite a surprise.

The glass is now not half empty or full.

We can fill it ourselves, and that would be cool.

The past was not perfect, we can’t just ignore it.

But that is the reason that we should abhor it.

We can learn from the past, build on the good.

Develop communities of true brotherhood.
